Using affirmations for weight loss gives you a good head-start to get the law of attraction working for you in manifesting that slender body you want. However, there are many ineffective ways to use affirmations. Speaking the words of an affirmation is not enough to create radical changes in your body or your life. Instead, the sole element of power in an affirmation is revealed in how you feel when you speak it.
What are you trying to achieve when you speak a weight loss affirmation? A thinner body, right? But how often are you focused on that slender, beautiful body? Do you spend more time focusing on how much you hate being overweight?
Are you constantly putting yourself down and feeling frustrated about your weight? Do you often voice complaints like these: "I hate being overweight! I'm so sick of these fat rolls. I'm tired of feeling this way and looking this way"? Can you feel the negative emotions that those statements trigger within you? The problem is that every time your thoughts move in that direction and you start feeling negatively about your body, you keep attracting the conditions that will keep you stuck feeling that way. To attract a better outcome (better body), you need to choose better thoughts that make you feel better.
Another problem with affirmations is that people try to phrase them in the present tense - which can be a good thing, but not always. For example, affirmations like these may resemble some you've said before: "I weigh 115 pounds. I love my body. I wear a sleek size 6." But do you really believe that those things are true right now? Probably not. So while you are saying them, your subconscious mind is resisting them and nothing can change.
It is possible to overcome this by persistently repeating the affirmation all day long every day, but that takes a ton of energy and focus. Instead, an easier way is to simply change the phrasing of the affirmation so your subconscious mind won't resist it.
Examples: "I feel so light and free at 115 pounds. My body has been good to me over the years. Size 6 clothing sounds so good to me." Can you feel the difference in these affirmations? You aren't trying to battle your existing beliefs. Instead you are just saying that these ideas make you feel good. Even if you know they aren't true YET, you are still "tuning into" them and adopting that lighter, happier frequency, so you begin attracting the essence of it.
No matter what, your affirmations should instantly inspire positive feelings when you say them. If any negative feelings are triggered, the affirmation needs more work. Your main goal is to get aligned with the essence of the outcome you are trying to attract, and try to feel as if it were your reality now. Do that enough and you won't be able to help but create some very happy changes in your body and your life.
